Disk Boot Failure, Attempting to restore EFI partition
Had a power loss and while I have my workstation on a battery backup I on impulse just killed the power to my PC instead of doing a proper shutdown. I had just completed a steam game installation at this point (Mafia III, not sure if this is relevant though).
Long story short, upon reboot, I experienced the following:
(Disk Boot Failure)
I loaded up a recovery USB and attempted a repair to no avail. From the command prompt I ran CHKDSK and DISKPART and got the following:
CHKDSK seems to indicate that my actual Win10 partition is still there but for some reason I don't see an EFI partition to boot into it. I'd like to see if restoring this partition gets me back my installation. I can go through a reinstall if need be but it will be an enormous pain and I will likely lose some important info as well.
How do I go about restoring my EFI partition?
For reference, the boot disk is a Samsung SSD 850; it's less than a couple years old and given that it was behind a battery when I lost power (not a surge, just accidentally flicked the wrong breaker) I'm surprised that it would fail in this manner.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
